Validation of a Photonumeric Assessment Scale for Grading the Slope of the Asian Forehead.

Background: As the number of aesthetic treatments has grown, so have the number of photonumeric assessment scales used to compare the effectiveness of these aesthetic treatments in specific anatomical areas; however, these are primarily based on Caucasian features.

Objective: To assess the validity of the first aesthetic scale for assessing the slope of the Asian forehead. A secondary objective was to correlate this scale with subject demographics and baseline characteristics.

A Validated Assessment Scale for Asian Chin Projection.

Background: As the number of different aesthetic treatments increase, numerous photonumeric assessment scales have been developed and validated to measure the effectiveness of these new treatments and techniques. Photonumeric rating scales have been developed to objectively assess improvements in anatomical areas; however, these have been based on the features of Caucasian patients.

Objective: To develop and validate a Chin Projection Scale for use in the female Asian patient population.

Validated Assessment Scales for the Female Asian Calf.

Background: Clinical photonumeric scales have been developed and validated to objectively measure the effectiveness of aesthetic treatments in specific anatomical areas; however, these are based on the typical features of Caucasian patients. No clinical scale for Asian calf appearance currently exists.

Objective: To develop and validate a calf assessment scale for use in the female Asian patient population.

Durability, Behavior, and Tolerability of 5 Hyaluronidase Products.

Background: Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are commonly used in cosmetic dermatology. Due to differences in their physical characteristics, HA fillers demonstrate different sensitivity to degradation by hyaluronidase (Hase) because of HA concentration and differences in cross-linking. Similarly, there are differences in the activity of Hase products depending on source and concentration.
